...In The Silver Star by Jeannette Walls, Liz is an exceptionally intelligent and independent child for someone her age, of only fifteen years old. Because of her extreme responsibility and compassion for those around her, she is a great role model for Bean, her little sister. Other than being a role model, Liz's main purpose is to serve as the maternal figure for Bean since their birth mother leaves for weeks at a time, and is not around to support them. Liz shows her role by always taking care of Bean when their mom decides to leave. To begin, Liz achieved her maternal role to Bean, by getting a job of her own, "Liz had been doing some babysitting, but after Mom had been gone a week, she decided to take on extra work, and I got a job delivering Grit, a newspaper with useful stories..." (Walls 15). Liz knows that if she is not independent and got a job then there was no way that her and Bean could survive without their mother. Also it was her idea to leave for Byler so that the bandersnatchers, which is the girls word for the police, would not be able to take them away to Child Protective Services. Liz always knew what to do in these kind of situations, as we are told by Bean, which makes Liz very dependable. Also, Liz is remarkably intelligent, which we know because she is always complimented by teachers, parents and other adults about how outstanding she is. But not only is Liz considered to be smart in school, or "book smart", she also knows how to deal with the...

...analyze some of the safety gaps in the BCC aviation line and offer plausible and economical medium and long term solutions to the challenges for a better and improved BCC operations. Analysis The BCC seemingly is teamed up with great pilots who enjoy what they do and are naturally gifted as pilots. That is a great incentive for the team as a whole. The team spirit exhibited in the working relations among the pilots and also between the BCC and helicopter engineers (Copter Doctors) is also a great incentive in the long run in terms of coordination and communication. The challenges that BCC is facing can be subcategorized into these areas: a) Work Safety Processes and Procedures b) Flight operations safety procedures c) Support system for pilots and staffing d) Safe working environment a) Work Safety Processes and Procedures The BCC interoperability is tottering due to undefined work processes above and beyond manning the helicopters. One of the pilots admits that “standards are a bit relaxed coz everyone knows what needs to be done.” Pilots understand their work and therefore are likely to get it done with minimum or no supervision. The challenge with lack of structures to guide the work is that someone might assume that since everyone knows what is to be done some critical steps might...

When the Austrians attacked Venice (Italy). They released balloons containing explosives from the Austrian ship Vulcano. Drones work through radiowaves via remote controlled devises. They are battery powered. The newer drones have tracking devices fitted that can be programmed with a destination. Drones are being used by people for photography, videos and are starting to be used by large retailers for delivering goods.

...EXECUTIVE SUMMARY There is an increasing desire for the implementation of condition based maintenance programs to replace the traditional hour based maintenance on Military rotor wing aircraft. There are several advantages and disadvantages to this type of maintenance. The purpose of this paper is to discuss both and the affect that they play in regards to the organizational behavior of a business. There are distinct advantages in regards to cost when we talk about condition based maintenance. Replacing a part only when it is likely to fail saves the cost of replacement at a possible earlier time like in a phase based program, or catching a part that might have failed prior to the required hour inspection or replacement time. But this new technology comes with a cost. A cost, not only monetary, but also within the organizational behavior of a corporation or organization such as the military. When we talk about Managing change and stress, we have to talk about the external forces of change effecting these technological advancements. The technology of condition based maintenance is justified through the savings it generates through the maintenance program but what cost will it have on the people working on these aircraft? Will there be a reduction in jobs? This concern can start trouble, rumors, and decreased production from employees that normally work hard. What effect will it have on the organizational design? Will there be an increase or decrease in managerial roles? Will there...

...those giant machines was in Girdwood, Alaska. We were an absolute wreck the night before. We starred mesmerized at hours of footage from the company’s website, biting our fingernails, hoping that the videos of other people’s experiences would help dull our fears and instill us with super human powers. We were convinced that we would have to huck ourselves from under the whirling blades into the endlessly deep powder below. Warren Miller and Travis Rice have a lot to answer for, as the truth was far less extreme. We leaped from the chopper landing with a muffled thud on the thick landing pad of snow. Our heli guide grabbed our snowboards from the helicopter basket and stopped just short of strapping our boots into the bindings for us. After we heard the last clicks of our straps echo through the mountains and watched the helicopter morph from a massive machine into a tiny dot floating in the sky miles away, we stood alone and abandoned at the top of a snowy ridge, staring down at our dream: a vast world of untracked powder, laid out below the nose of our snowboards. A few deep mouthfuls of crisp mountain air and we took to the snow, following the guide’s turns and breaking fresh tracks. Not a lift line in sight, no lift pass necessary, and an entire mountain range for us to call our own. We glided with ease on our mountain’s snow, carving perfect lines amidst the...

...Seventy-five paps gather around the entrances to Britney's gated community, stamping their feet in the chilly winter night, as a police helicopter circles overhead. "You don't want an ambulance to roll out with a body bag and miss that," says a French photographer, checking his battery. These guys are jaded after all that's happened. "Man, Britney can't die, because then I don't get my money!" says a guy in a Famous Stars and Straps baseball hat. Someone starts running down the block, and everyone runs after him; they hide in a driveway and laugh when everyone catches up. Although she doesn't seem to have tried to commit suicide, the doctors are on their way again: Police and paramedics descend as the LAPD blocks off all exit paths from her house, stations twenty cops in her driveway and takes her out (her code name: "The Package") without a single picture. The next day, her parents file a restraining order against Lutfi. A world without Britney, where she is set aside in rehab or a psychiatric center, is hard to contemplate: She's the canary in the coal mine of our culture, the most vivid representation of the excess of the past decade. She didn't think there was a tomorrow worth saving for, and neither did we. After blaming everyone else for her problems, Britney's finally starting to realize the degree to which she's messed up, but her sense of entitlement keeps her from admitting it to herself, or to anyone who is trying to help her. We want her to survive and thrive, to...

...Drones can be defined as “unmanned aerial vehicles, most commonly associated and used by the United States military(Source A).” After examining all of the positive and negative connotations associated with the use of drones, one could say that the negative consequences do not outweigh the positive consequences of using drones in military actions. Drones not only save lives on the stuck on the front lines, but are also popular among the American population. One of the positive consequences, of using drones in high risk military actions, is that it saves the lives of United States military personnel and civilians that live a life caught in the crossfires of war. This can be exemplified by the statistic that shows “following the September 11, 2001 attacks, roughly 8-17% of all deaths from United States drones. In comparison, in World War II, civilian deaths, as a percentage of total war fatalities, are estimated at 40 to 67%(Source J)”. When soldiers are presented with the need to make decisions in high stress environment, one may make unappropiate decisions resulting in the death of innocent civilians; “Drone strikes eliminate all of those risks common to “boots on the ground” missions (Source J).” Due to the accuracy of drone use in high-risk, military missions, drone have been known to precisely “strike and kill a single person in one room of a house and spare the lives of people in other rooms, creating less of a chance of innocent civilians being killed (Source A).” Therefore...

In addition, the United States of America Presidential Transport Program contracts at this time belong to Sikorsky Aircraft. Igor Sikorsky built a company that is currently one of the best in helicopter design and development. Sikorsky aircraft currently owns quite a few subsidiaries, as well as but not limited to Helicopter Support Inc. which deals with after market support, and Schweizer Aircraft Corporation that builds small helicopters, light planes, gliders, and U.A.V.s. Now in terms of vertical structure, Sikorsky Aircraft is a strong business that is made up of several integrated departments and sub departments, which lead up in the course of several layers of allocation. At the top of the ladder is of course, a CEO, the board of directors, and shareholders. Horizontally, Sikorsky Aircraft is a bit of a "crossbreed" organization because it is divisional, however not every department has its own marketing sub division, for example. Sikorsky Aircraft is made up of several departments because there are several facets that make up the helicopter production business. For example, the interior paint shop. This part, in several ways, operates as its own unit. The paint shop has an individual chain of management, schedule, and its own costs metrics. The paint shop handles painting airplanes from quite a few programs inside Sikorsky Aircraft. Sikorsky Aircraft...

...FORT BRAGG, N.C. — Operation Desert Storm saw the first female aviator in battle when Maj. Marie T. Rossi took the driver’s seat flying fuel and ammunition to the soldiers crossing into enemy territory. Rossi lost her life when her CH-47 Chinook helicopter went down on March 1, 1991. Her headstone reads, “The first female commander to fly into battle.” she certainly was not the last. Today, women of the 82nd Combat Aviation Brigade continue changing the face of the battlefield by joining the fight as combat aviators, crew chiefs, and helicopter mechanics, showcasing their skills and leadership abilities. Lt. Col. Gail E. Atkins, commander, 122nd Aviation Support Battalion, 82nd CAB, is no stranger to the changing role of women in combat aviation. The Westchester, Pa., native has served for almost 18 years as a UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter pilot. “We are seeing an evolution with regard to women in combat roles, in how our skills have evolved and how we are exploiting those skills,” Atkins said. “In aviation, we went through this back in 93’, when the military opened up attack aviation to women, so we are 15 years ahead of the curve in aviation compared to where our other branches are.” Throughout her career, Atkins has seen an increase in number of women who serve alongside her. “I have an all female staff right now and it’s just the way it has worked out. But I think it is indicative of the number of women who are joining the service,” Atkins said. Other women...

...ability to sell the other line at a more competitive price as a greater portion of the cost has been allocated to the military line. With a greater portion of the civilian line’s cost allocated to the military line, the company now can enjoy greater profit potential through the civilian line as well. With a lower cost allocation attributed to the civilian line, the company can lower prices and gain a greater competitive advantage, increase unit sales, and though profit margins would then be lower, volume increases through reduced pricing would provide improved revenue. Although there is specific information that lacking to make an absolute decision on what is the best allocation base for applying overhead (total costs, price of the helicopters, difference between market value and cost, number of set-ups, cost per labor hour, and cost per machine hour), the difference in percent of total between labor and machine hours and between military contracts and civilian contracts provides enough information to suggest a solution. In order to comply with the controller’s request to find a...
